Zend Optimizer is a software tool, that is needed to execute files encoded with Zend Guard - a widespread app which is used to encrypt PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the purpose to protect them from tampering with the program code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by lots of corporations which develop paid script apps, so in case you obtain such an application for your website, you'll most likely need Zend Optimizer to be available on the server where you will host it. If you are a programmer, you can use Zend Guard to shield your code and make sure that your website visitors or clients will be unable to alter it in whatever way. Websites that use Zend Optimizer usually perform better because their PHP code is precompiled, so it is already optimized and will be executed much more rapidly.
